Taylor Tomlinson is joined by Photoshop master James Fridman for an exclusive session to upgrade her social media content – with unexpected results. Taylor’s new special Look At You is now streaming. She’s also performing at Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival on May 6th at The Theatre at Ace Hotel.
After a brief stint on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Netflix would introduce Tomlinson in 2018 as part of The Comedy Lineup, a series of rapid-fire 15-minute stand-up performances. Followed by various late-night performances for the Temecula, California native with appearances on Conan, The Tonight Show w/ Jimmy Fallon, and Late Night w/ Seth Meyers. Variety would notice Taylor’s performance, naming her one of “Top 10 Comics to Watch” at the 2019 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.
Tomlinson would begin touring alongside her comedy idol Whitney Cummings as part of The Codependent Tour, but it would be short-lived due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Stuck at home along with the rest of the world, Taylor managed to stay relevant in the world of comedy with the release of her first Netflix comedy special Quarter-Life Crisis, and her weekly podcast Self-Helpless with fellow comedians Kelsey Cook and Delanie Fischer. Once travel restrictions and safety protocols were eased in early 2021, Tomlinson went back on the road, this time as the headlining solo act on her first nationwide tour. Also featuring Irene Tu and Dustin Nickerson, Tomlinson’s Deal With It Tour would arguably become the biggest comedy tour of the year. Capitalizing on her new popularity, in late 2021, Netflix would announce her new comedy special eventually titled Look At You, set to be released in March 2022.
In the second stand-up comedy special released by Tomlinson and the streaming service, Taylor hilariously shares an intimate look at her struggles with mental health, grief, and dating. Kristian Mercado directs, and Taylor Tomlinson serves as Executive Producer alongside Judi Marmel and John Bravakis. The special was filmed at the historic Wilbur Theater in Boston in December 2021.
